Ronaldo storms off with Tottenham game ongoing

Manchester United emerged victorious against Tottenham by 2-0 in the English Premier League clash on Wednesday. However, Cristiano Ronaldo had to stay on the bench and left the spot before the match ended.

Goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes had all but confirmed a win at Old Trafford but this was not enough to keep Ronaldo satisfied, reports GOAL. Having been left on the bench up to that point, he headed down the tunnel in the 90th minute with four mins of injury time still to play.

Speaking to Amazon Prime Sport after the game, United boss Erik ten Hag said of Ronaldo, "He was there. I have seen him yeah, but I didn't speak to him after. I will deal with that tomorrow, not today. Today, we are celebrating this victory and now we have to recover from this for Saturday. Chelsea, another big game but the Premier League is so exciting."

Seeing as Ten Hag had two more substitutes to potentially play, this was an act of pure disregard from the veteran forward. Ronaldo has started just two Premier League games this term, but it might be some time before he begins another after this petulant display.

Having won this game without their legendary forward, they may have to repeat the trick away at Chelsea on the weekend.
